October 2011 TTCers!!!

Hi ladies! Just thought I'd get us going with a new thread. The countdown is on! 7 weeks until October! I know everyone will be O and doing the bd at different points but we are almost to our month! What is one thing you are doing to prepare and one thing you are concerned about? I'll start: I am exercising every day and eating healthier. Something I'm concerned about is not getting pregnant right away. Have a wonderful day! :)

Countdown's on! I almost expect not to conceive right away, but I'm scared that it's going to take several months! As for preparation I'm taking my prenatal vitamins and trying to work out as much as possible (I wish I could claim the once a day habit - congrats by the way)! Oh yes and I'm trying to prepare my DH for the ttc adventure!

Hi happy ttc! Good for you! I'm taking prenatals too- the vitafusion gummies (they're so good I could literally eat them like candy!). They don't have iron but they do have fatty acids. I eat red meat a few times a week so i think im getting enough iron... What brand do you take? I need to start prepping dh for ttc too! Good one :) So great to be able to chat on here!

7 weeks doesn't sound like much....finally :) Something I'll be doing soon to prepare is talking to my dr. about different blood pressure meds. The ones I'm on aren't good for baby! And I'm a little concerned that hubby will freak out when the time comes and want to push ttc back awhile. He doesn't seem into it yet at all, even though he says he is!

Carmony- I found last time that my husband never really got excited about it.. he just said he was ready and did his part.. so try not to worry about it too much. I find a lot of men just don't get really into it until the baby is there.Â

I am also going to be TTC around the end of October.Â

Hi carmony and kercher! Carmony- I am currently on lisinopril for my unexplained high bp, which I know can cause birth defects. I'm having my annual obgyn/ pre-ttc visit in a couple weeks and I will ask then what I should be taking instead and when I should start. My dh is hit or miss when it comes to baby talk..sometimes he is all "I cannot wait to start a family," other times he's more "It'll happen when it happens." I had a mc mid July (unplanned pg so although it was very sad, we are coping pretty well) so we are waiting a couple of cycles, but also because I am starting an intense program that goes from sept-may. If all goes as planned (yeah right!) I'll have a little peanut mid summer, have a couple months home before I start my career. What's your story?? :)

Thanks for sharing, girls! It's always nice to know others have had the same issues!

We'll be ttc our first. We originally planned to start in Oct. at the earliest because I was in school and wouldn't graduate until June, so had to make sure baby would come after that :) But I quit a couple months ago (hated it!) so now I'm anxious to start sooner, but he's pretty set on the plan!

I'm going for my yearly dr. visit in a couple weeks, too, so I'll talk to her then about my bp meds. I just hope the transition to a new kind goes easier than when I started this one. It took months to get the dose right!

Hubby and I are TTC'ers in October too with out first bump. I typically eat pretty healthy anyway but I'm taking pre-natals after I realized my intake was perfect for me but not quite enough for an addition. I'm also running again which I haven't been able to do for some time and have been having physical therapy for a long standing back and neck injury because I know that the changes that come along with pregnancy can give even healthy people back problems! I'm also eating dark leafy greens and plenty of antioxidant fruits.

I am also thinking that at the end of this month I will be switching to mineral makeup to avoid phenols that are found in some beauty proucts like foundations, lipsticks and especially those really smelly nail polishes. What is so scary is that these companies are not required to state outright that their products have Phenols in them even though they are linked to cancer and infertility!! Check your products ladies! Here's the scoop: Phenols are a known neurotoxic that can also cause toxicity of some organs. Even worse than having phenols in our products, they are found in some baby products!! Check out this link:

Hi all! Hubby and I are looking forward to ttc in October for baby #2. Our little girl is 16 months old and we are very excited to have a little brother or sister for her to grow up with! My husband talks about baby stuff quite a bit lately and actually was the one who came up with trying in October. We had really only mentioned about trying closer to her 2nd birthday. I didn't want to push the idea of trying sooner, I'm seriously enjoying our sweet girl so much and I actually felt a bit guilty of thinking about wanting to have another one so soon. haha I know the timing is right for us to start in a couple months though and the age gap will be great. I was never on a ttc board before so I figured I would join one this time around!! Good luck to everyone! I hope this will be a fun journey for everyone!

Eek, I forgot to say that I've been taking prenatals since the end of July and just trying to maintain working out at least twice a week. It's not always easy but if I at least get one gym session in each week I feel better about it then missing a week completely. hehe Also we've been practicing making a baby regularly since practice makes perfect! Right!? ;0) lol I'm hoping it won't take too too long to get pregnant but I'm not too worried about it if it takes a few months!

Hi everyone! My hubs and I have actually been trying since last December but I recently found out that I have elevated prolactin levels that I was told were keeping me from ovulating and I have been going to several different doctors and have all sorts of tests done. So we took a few months off to let my new meds do their magic and lower my levels so that I will ovulate! We are probably going to ttc late October! So glad to be a part of this board and heat everyone elses stories! Baby dust to all!

Hi everyone! We are TTC in October for the first time! I'm seeing my OB/GYN this Friday for a pre-conception check up and I've been taking my vitamins and trying to get a good amount of exercise in. I just finished up my last pack of BC, so I'm concerned about my cycle returning to normal and actually ovulating. Here's hoping!
